Jennifer Garner ‘never understood’ Ben Affleck’s gambling obsession

Ben Affleck, 41, was reportedly banned from playing blackjack at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas in April after he was caught counting cards and although his wife, Draft Day star Jennifer Garner, hates seeing negative things about him in the press, she's determined to support him. A source told people.com: ''She never understood his gambling obsession and she doesn't want him to be in the news [for it], [but] she's the most patient wife ever and is still very much in love with Ben.'' Meanwhile, the 42-year-old actress flew to Detroit, where Ben is filming his new movie Batman vs. Superman, last weekend to celebrate nine years of marriage together. Ben reportedly bought his gorgeous wife some expensive jewelry from Barneys in Beverly Hills last week to mark their wedding anniversary.
